Netflix’s first scripted African series, Queen Sono is described as an action-packed drama following a highly trained top spy in a South African agency whose purpose is to better the lives of African citizens.

‘Shadow’ was on Netflix last year, about a black policeman who has a life threatening condition and works during his spare time as an armed equalizer for money to pay for an expensive medical procedure. I presume this was a South African production, it had some good stunts and worth a look too.
